I'd say I'm pretty impressed with Lisi Harrison. Though I haven't finished the whole series, she's managed to create a prequel that makes sense with the rest of the story which I assume would take some planning and thought. It's entertaining to see how The Clique came to be. The only thing I thought was out of the ordinary was *minor spoiler* when Claire was on tv. Seems to be either retconned or a plot hole... Anyway, if you love The Clique, read the prequel.

The Clique Lisi Harrison 9780689872990 Books Reviews

My daughter LOVES this set. She asked me to purchase it for her for Christmas. Lisi Harrison must be an awesome writer to make my Tom Boy LOVE this girlie girl series!!
When I heard of this book I was very excited to buy it. I opened this book and found all of the rich-girl glamour that I loved about the original seiris. I loved the charm theme and the punny title but I raised my eyebrow at a few small details. Number one was the girls age. Apparently they are in fourth grade and still at OCD. The second is the setting. The whole book centers around News Years Eve. It would have been nice to see more of the Pretty Commitee's early days, such as taking over OCD or their first friday night sleepover. However, the whole thing is tied together nicely, and there is no visible out of order off details. Out of Ten I give a 9. Enjoy Reading!
Best book ever it depicks the characters from the book just as i imagined
I have bought all the Clique books on , they come in GREAT shape! Even the "used books" haven't been opened! My daughter loves reading these books and this is surely the place to get them!
good
This is a pretty interesting book. But some things are baffling. Like how important money is to these girls. Honestly, I can see some of this things happen in real life, which makes it interesting; but the importance of money and the way some of the girls speak kind of ruins the book. But overall it is an interesting book and worth reading.
I really didn't like this book. I thought I would like it, because it seemed to get a fairly good reception from others (YALSA even chose it as a quick-pick for YA readers). But this is honestly one of the worst books I've ever read.

The biggest problem I have is that I don't think it gives pre-teens and teens enough credit. Every single character in this book is superficial, even Claire, who is supposedly the average, normal sort of girl. To me, they all seemed to be different versions the same character. They're all petty and selfish; they all only care about boys, make-up, and clothes. What about activities? Favorite TV shows? Books? Granted, Massie rides horses, but right away this activity turns into a device to attract an older boy. What I love about YA is that it shows that just like adults, young adults are complex people. They have varied interests and they have real problems. This book doesn't portray that at all. The characters are down-right mean and don't show significant growth throughout to redeem themselves by the end.

Also, the stuff they have to deal with is trivial. For example, Massie doesn't want to be friends with the new girl, but her parents are trying to force her to be nice. I don't see why or how we're supposed to relate to such an awful character. Then there's Claire who is the new girl and would have a legitimate problem about trying to fit in and be friends with Massie, but then she ruins it by playing horrible pranks on Massie and her friends and trying to fit in with them even after she realizes how awful they are.

There are some redeeming factors, though these don't make up for all the bad stuff in this book. The writing itself isn't bad and it's a quick, easy read. Also, there are some funny moments that don't have anything to do with mean-spirited pranks. At moments I thought we were going to see into a deeper side of the characters, but these moments were fleeting and didn't follow through. Maybe they are more fully developed in later books, but from what I've skimmed through, I doubt it.
I'd say I'm pretty impressed with Lisi Harrison. Though I haven't finished the whole series, she's managed to create a prequel that makes sense with the rest of the story which I assume would take some planning and thought. It's entertaining to see how The Clique came to be. The only thing I thought was out of the ordinary was *minor spoiler* when Claire was on tv. Seems to be either retconned or a plot hole...
